July PoetLuck

Details

The Writers’ Colony at Dairy Hollow (WCDH) will present our July Poetluck at 515 Spring Street on Thursday, July 17th, featuring Doug Allen. WCDH is proud to bring Doug Allen to WCDH for for the first time to read at our July Poetluck. Doug Allen, the Riverman the author of the book: ‘The Riverman’s Guide to the Kings River’. Allen was born and raised in the hills of Northwest Arkansas. His home on Onyx Cave Road was just a couple of dirt road miles away from the beautiful Kings River just outside the quaint little tourist town of Eureka Springs. He grew up with a family of Arkansas fishermen and biologists who had a huge passion for anything related to bodies of water and fish. In his lifetime he has fished creeks, farm ponds, lakes, and especially rivers. His summers were spent swimming, canoeing, and fishing most stretches of the Kings River that meanders slowly and peacefully through the beautiful Ozark Mountains. Over the many years he has gotten to know the Kings River like the back of his hand. Doug says “I feel its pulse. I long for it when I’m away. It’s a huge part of who I am. Although I now live in Fayetteville Arkansas with my family of river rats, I can often be found kayaking, guiding or wade fishing on the beautiful Kings River in the spring, summer and fall.” We are delighted to invite you to attend Poetluck, an open mic style poetry reading event at The Writers' Colony at Dairy Hollow (WCDH).
